[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 4268409, member: 710"] Matchbox sometimes had cars not available with SIKU. SIKU took a long time to get the Ferrari, for example... And, off course, as I child I also needed some "crash cars" - matchbox cars where well suited for that. (Picture an 8 year old trying to lift his large bed, using his right hand to put the soon-to-be-crash-car under a leg, and then drop it to put a nice dent or buckle into it...) Oh, and if you wanted to have [s]KITT[/s] a nice Trans Am, you had to get a matchbox. But SIKUs quality was just better, and everything was to the same scale (no trucks with the same size as an average sedan), until they sold out/jumped the shark when they introduced "heavier" vehicles with the wrong scale. ;) Oh, and i forget to mention TV. I also watched that. Sesame Street, [url=http://www.die-maus.de/index2.phtml]Sending mit der Maus[/url], Alf, Knight Rider, A-Team and what else came up then. It's amazing how much TV shows I already forgot about, and which actually stuck... [/off-topic child memories] I must be getting old... [/QUOTE]
